Baermann Book III is probably your best bet for Scales (major and minor in all keys, different scale patterns, thirds, fourths, fifths, 6ths, arpeggios, etc.) It's great because most exercises extend beyond the tonic of the key, through the extended range of the instrument. I prefer the David Hite edition.
I do not know of an etude book that prepares one for reading a piece with multiple key changes (every 10 bars or so like a few modern shows i've played) and awkward fingers that you would not come across in the standard Baermann. Sometimes its not just the fingers, but the spelling that gets me tied up in site reading these works. You are in a key of B Major - for example, but have accidentals like flats and double sharps all over the place. By the time you figure out what key you are in it's time to change to Eb major.
